Tay? Usher? I think she go with the unexpected and have someone like Teddy Swims sing it. It would really bring the country together.

I would have the service academies' combined chorus sing it. Fuck the pop singers. Pull out the patriotism.

They have to be able to hit that high part ("... and the rocket's red glaaare"). So it has to be a Mariah or Ariana.

R6 The Queen actually lip sung hers because of the cold weather. It’s more common than you think. Though obviously The Queen can sing live. Here she is actually singing it with live vocals.

R6 Mariah Carey cannot replicate her vocals live. She barely could do it in the 90s and she certainly cannot do it today.

It will be Christina Aguilera, and with all the vocal runs and showboating, the performance will last two hours.

Enough with the pop stars, the occasion demands a truly great singer.

Perhaps a Destiny’s Child reunion. First time seeing this today; one of the best renditions I’ve ever heard.

I'll need to check my calendar, but I think I'm available that day.

I'd say Beyonce because of the Freedom theme, but she already did the Anthem at Obama's inauguration.
Halle Bailey (played Ariel in the live action Little Mermaid) is a good choice but not exciting.

I nominate David Archuleta as a compromise candidate to sing no matter who wins.
